Well done - You got there in the end!

Manuals are good, but thre trouble is they're always written/photographed in a pristine workshop, with all the tools and usually the engine out on a bench - you were working in the middle of nowhere! It is experience that helps in these situations; you've gained more of that over the last few days and learnt a great deal to you help out next time. (Let's hope there isn't a next time though! )

As you were working in the field (so to speak), it may be wise to put some cheap oil in for 500Km or so, just to flush out any debris that might of got in whilst you were working on the clutch and to allow for the new clutch plates to bed in. (Make sure you use proper motorcycle oil though and not synthetic stuff.) Then change to a good oil, or whatever you use normally and it's probably worth doing the filter again for the sake of a few quid.

I Have to say a big thank you to you. you have helped me out numerous times.

I had to hammer the clutch again to get out of there for a good few hours. Do you think it would be safer to change it again.

Is that super grade or racing oil worth the extra expense? What is it? Im guessing the particles are finer.

Good to hear you got it sorted & back home...

I take my XTR into some pretty rough terrain at
times..But I have a 48t rear sprocket on... use
14t / 15t or 16t engine sprockets.. (need 2 chains)
16/48 for longer road trips.. "Same as the standard gear ratio"
14t or 15t for the gnarly stuff...
Also has a Rekluse EXP auto clutch in it... is almost cheating
when yer in the really rough tight crap..

What I'm saying the bike will do it..But gear it for where
you are going...

Thanks. I have a 48t rear and 15t front was thinking of going down to 13t for the. Weekends. Just a bit worried about excess wear from the weekly change of sprocket.

Looked into the rekluse still not sure what exactly it does.

Personally, I'd live with it for a while and see how it goes. Change it at the first signs of any slippage.

Not really, jsut stick with a good quality semi-synthetic like the Motul 5100 (which is the what the Yamalube oil is your dealer would use).
